VIM - fake help file for vim-tiny

The Vim online help is not installed on this Debian GNU/Linux system.

WHY ?

Because only the "vim-tiny" package is installed, whose sole purpose is to
provide the vi command for base installations.  As such, it contains a minimal
version of Vim compiled with no graphical user interface and a small subset of
features, in order to keep the package size small.

Since the "vim-runtime" package is rather huge when compared to "vim-tiny",
installing the latter does not automatically install the former.

HOW TO GET A BETTER VIM

To get a more featureful Vim binary (and a vim command, rather than just vi),
install one of the following packages: vim, vim-nox, vim-athena, vim-gtk, or
vim-gnome.

HOW TO OBTAIN HELP

either browse the Vim online help via web starting at

http://vimhelp.appspot.com/help.txt.html#help.txt

or ask your administrator to install the "vim-doc" package, which contains the
   HTML version of the online help and browse it starting at

/usr/share/doc/vim/html/index.html

or  ask your administrator to install the "vim-runtime" package, re-run vi and
    access the online help again.  Note that all the above mentioned Vim
    variants other then "vim-tiny" automatically install the "vim-runtime"
    package.  If you don't suffer from disk space shortage using one of them is
    recommended.
